So, you think you can do better?
I accept your challenge.
(RADIO PLAYING POP MUSIC)
(GROWLS)
BOTH: Hmm.

(BOTH SCREAMING)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS) Tokyo, Japan, is one of my favorite places on Earth.
I love the traditions, the customs, the manners, the order. The everything.
And apparently everything loves you too.
Oh, it's Velmageddon.
(NEWSCASTER SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)
I guess I forgot to mention when I was here for that Tokyo science fair last year,
I kind of became a thing.
Wow, that's so cool Velma. They love you here.
You're big in Japan.
Uh, Daphne...
Why are you wearing your jacket backwards?
My front was cold and my back was hot.
I call it the jackwards.
-Velma. -Aki.
Ah, science lab partners is a bond neither time nor distance can sever.
Aki, these are my friends.
Sugoi, so cool!
You have such a great style.
Oh, thank you.
Ah, jackwards!
Don't get too excited, Daphne.
I think she's just being polite.
Jackwards!
Please you can't just go. Who will run my bathhouse?
This place is curse, I quit.
Beware of Kaniaku!
(RADIO PLAYING POP SONG)
Uh, was that a cultural thing?
I don't think so.
What's a Kaniaku?
It is an ancient mystery.
Mystery, what kind of mystery?
One that's gone unsolved, for 700 years.
Respectfully, Officer Hiroshi. Kaniaku is a silly children story.
Hold on, there is a mystery here that no one solved in 700 years?
Yes, the legend speaks of a lowly cook,
who fell in love with a beautiful princess.
Wait, I know this legend.
The cook begged the spirit of the sea for a gift
to give the princess, to win her heart.
The greatest recipe ever.
It was handed to him on a golden scroll.
AKI: And the spirit of the sea, told him if he prepares the dish perfectly.
The princess would return his love.
But if he fails to follow the recipe exactly.
He would be cursed forever.
VELMA: That night the bandits attacked
and stole the scroll before he could finish the dish.
Without the recipe, the cook didn't know the final ingredient.
And the dish was never completed.
AKI: So, the spirit of the se turn him into Kaniaku.
The crab demon cursed for all time.
Like, it's the first monster we can actually eat.
Wow, crab. (SLURPS)
They say, he still haunts Tokyo searching for his lost scroll.
-Quite a mystery. -Yeah, it is.
I had never solved a 700 year old mystery before.
Slow down Fred, we just got here.
Yeah, and after all that discussion on crabs
Scoob and I want to try some real authentic Japanese cuisine.
Something new and unrecognizable.
Yeah, Fred, can we enjoy our vacation for maybe 10 minutes?
Oh, of course, I'm sorry.
Ten minutes then we start looking for clues.
(BEEPING)
(BELL RINGING)
(GREETING IN JAPANESE)
Good evening.
My esteemed colleague and I would like to try your most unique dish.
To honor my esteemtiqueness.
Ah!
Bee larva.
Been there, done that.
Yeah, like, I'm sorry. Well, bee larva is one of our favorite ice-cream toppings.
We're looking for something we can't get at home.
Oh...
Tuna eyes.
Tuna eyes? Seriously.
Don't worry, Scoob, I'll handle this.
Tuna eyes is a pizza topping for the place we get delivery from.
What we would like is the rarest dish in Japan.
Sea slug?
-Nope. -Uh-uh.
Squid ink.
-(EXCLAIMS) -What? Seriously?
Dorsel foot?
Are you even trying?
-CHEF: Century old eggs. -SHAGGY: Next!
-CHEF: Octopus ice-cream? -(SCOOBY-DOO GROANS)
-CHEF: Wasp crackers? -SHAGGY: Boring!
Norowareta recipe.
Ah, thanks for the tip.
Two norowareta recipe please.
(GASPS)
CHEF: (YELLING) And stay out!
This norowareta recipe or whatever recipe must be so rare.
The chef's embarrass he can't make it.
I wonder, what's in it?
(SNIFFING)
Crab?
Well, that doesn't sound that unique.
(GROWLING)
Wow, like 10 minutes on the dot.
Perfect timing.
BOTH: Crab monster!
(GROWLING)
He's still following us.
Oh great! He must be pen pals with the monsters back home.
(BOTH SHUDDERING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
SHAGGY: These games looks so fun.
(CROWD CHEERING)
(SHAGGY SPEAKING JAPANESE)
Like, two challengers, have entered the arena.
Only one shall be victorious.
Will it be Scooby-Doo?
(CROWD CHEERING)
Or will it be Kaniaku?
(CROWD CHEERING)
Hmm.
SHAGGY: (ON MIC) Challengers.
Get ready!
-(GRUNTS) -(BEEPING)
Three, two, one!
Dance!
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Scooby-Doo, up with an amazing combo.
Kaniaku, better pick up the pace.
He's getting left behind.
Great move by Scooby-Doo.
Come on Kaniaku! We know you can do it.
Uh-oh!
Scooby-Doo, you better watch out.
'Cause Kaniaku is getting the idea.
Wow, looks like things are heating up.
We got a real battle on our hands now, folks.
Look at these incredible moves.
What a fantastic recovery by Kaniaku!
Looks like Scooby-Doo is losing the lead.
Kaniaku is pulling ahead.
Sushi, sashimi, it's getting steamy. Who will it be?
Scooby-Doo! Kaniaku!
It's Kaniaku, for the win!
Give him some love, folks.
(CROWD CHEERING)
(GROWLING)
It is an honor to finally meet you Velma Sama.
I design this line of kimono especially after you.
It would be my pleasure if you would accept it as a gift.
Thank you Mr. Kagawa. It will be perfect for tonight's festival.
Huh, I don't think I did this right.
Yeah. You didn't.
-So cool! -Huh?
-(SPEAKING JAPANESE) -(CAMERA PHONE CLICKING)
I guess, I Daphneized it.
-KAGAWA: Hmm -(BEEPING)
Seven hundred year old mystery.
You're talking about the Kaniaku.
How did you know?
Everyone knows it.
That is why, so many people have moved out of this neighborhood.
So, the Kaniaku is only attacking this area.
I wonder why.
I don't know. We're not friends on social media.
-Huh, I guess wrong is the new right. -It's so cool.
Looks good.
(SIGHS)
(SHUDDERING)
Like Scoob, I think we lost him.
Being alive is proof.
(EXCLAIMING)
There you guys are.
Daphne, we saw the crab monster and...
-Daphne, we saw the crab monster and... -Wait.
You saw it, what did it look like?
-Terrifying. -Actually, kind of appetizing.
I. I mean yeah, terrifying.
HIROSHI: What are you kids up to?
Officer Hiroshi.
Like, we just saw the Kaniaku.
He's back at the arcade.
The arcade?
He's playing video games?
Uh, yes.
Actually, I don't think they're really made for crabby claw hands.
This isn't a joke. Businesses are closing. People are going bankrupt.
No, you don't understand.
Aki, do I need to call your parents?
Mmm-mmm.
And as for you kids, stick to being tourists.
The big festival is tonight.
And the last thing we need is panic.
Good to know, we can count on his help.
Okay, gang.
Now that we've gotten all this exploring Japan out of the way.
We can focus on the mystery.
Mr. Kagawa said, the Kaniaku has scared 19 people out of this area.
Most of them moved out in the last week.
Sounds like the Kaniaku is stepping up his game.
I bet anything, he'll show up at tonight's festival.
And it's up to us to stop him.
(CROWD EXCLAIMING)
Well, if Kaniaku is looking to scare people away, this is the place to do it.
What do you think it wants?
According to the legend, it's searching for the golden scroll.
Let's spread out.
(LAUGHING)
Um. What's happening?
Yeah, isn't that my... Me?
You've got to be kidding.
Daphne.
Aki. Hey, what's going on?
It's gone viral.
Cool! Does that mean I am big in Japan?
Wow, Daphne, I guess you're the new thing.
I know, isn't it great?
Yeah, great.
Huh? Hmm.
Like, since when did the definition of vacation
include being chased around by horrible creatures?
When Fred defines it.
(SNIFFING)
(EXCLAIMS)
This has to be it Scoob, finally.
SHAGGY: Norowareta recipe? Here we come.
-(CHUCKLES) -(SLURPING)
(SNIFFING)
(SHAGGY EXCLAIMS)
Of course, you ready?
One, two, three.
BOTH: Kaniaku!
Help!
(POP MUSIC PLAYING)
(GRUNTS)
Officer Hiroshi, I'm glad you're here. We've got the Kaniaku.
Where?
I warned you, Aki.
You and your friends have ruined the festival. You must come with me.
Aki.
(GROWLING)
(SPEAKING JAPANESE)
We've disgraced Aki's whole family.
We should have listened to Officer Hiroshi. And minded our own business.
This is my fault.
Like come on, Velma.
You're being way too hard on yourself.
It's not your fault. It's Fred's.
Be hard on him.
Hey!
Thanks guys.
But I've shamed my friend and the country I love so much.
I guess I shamed myself.
No wonder I'm not big in Japan anymore.
At least I was cool some place.
Even for a little while.
But, you're big in the gang.
We all think you're cool.
Sure do.
No one's cooler.
Thanks guys, nice try.
I don't know why, I thought I could solve a mystery,
no one else has solved in 700 years.
And I guess we'll never get a chance to try the rarest dish in all the land.
(SNIFFING)
Yuck! Covered in Kaniaku.
Is that what that smell is?
Yeah, from where the Kaniaku grabbed us.
-(PHONE BEEPING) -Huh, it's fish but not crab.
Sardines, mackerel, bonito.
Hmm, huh?
Of course, the old seafood company.
(DOOR OPENS)
You are free to go. You can thank Aki's parents.
And the fact that my fellow officers are fans of Miss Daphne.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
(LAUGHING)
All right gang, we've got a monster to catch.
And I know just where to find him.
What'd I tell you Mr. Doo? This place is perfect for your new amusement park.
Daphne land.
I can see it now.
The tilt a beer can go there.
The mine coaster there.
The jackwards boutique can go here.
(SNARLS)
But then where would we put the puppet drop?
(GROWLING)
Oh, looks like we're... What do crabs eat?
Us, apparently.
(ROARING)
(SCREAMING)
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(EXCLAIMING)
Like now, Fred.
(EXCLAIMING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
Whoa!
(GROANING)
Uh!
(GROWLING)
Looks like you're a crushedacean.
Crushed station?
Yeah, like crustacean. Crushedacean.
What kind of station?
Like a train station? It doesn't make sense.
It makes total sense. It's a play on words.
Don't be so crabby.
-Crabby. (LAUGHING) -No.
I knew you kids would be involve in this.
Arigato, meddling kids.
What are all of you doing on my property?
Mr. Uehara. Officer Hiroshi.
Meet the Kaniaku.
ALL: Mr. Kagawa!
Exactly!
Before the kimono shop, his family used to own the seafood company.
For 12 generations.
Until Uehara forced us to sell to him.
When we came on hard times.
My family never lived down the shame.
So, I swore to get everything back.
And make Uehara pay for what he had done.
Precisely, Mr. Kagawa used the legend of the Kaniaku
to scare away all of Uehara's customers and employees.
As revenge, he wanted to force Uehara out of business,
so he could buy back his family old seafood company and save it from development.
I knew there was a connection to this warehouse, when Velma discovered that the Kaniaku
was covered in this residue of many different fish. But not crab.
Those fish could only come from one place, Kagawa's old seafood company,
which Uehara planned to knock down to build condominiums.
And Kagawa wasn't going to let the history of his family fishery be destroyed.
And I would have gotten away with it too. If it wasn't for...
Hey, you're Daphne!
Look everyone, it's her, Daphne.
Daphne, I saw on the news. You caught Kaniaku.
My mystery solving made the news?
No, the report was on what Daphne wears to an abandoned seafood warehouse.
Daphne Sama, what is next for you? What is the new Daphne style?
Hmm.
The coolest one yet.
Velma style!
Wow, it's such a classic style.
(REPORTER SPEAKING JAPANESE)
(SPEAKING IN JAPANESE)
Thanks Daphne.
Well, I guess I never did solve the real 700 year old mystery.
The golden scroll.
Of course, centuries ago, this building started out as a disreputable inn.
The bandits that stole the scroll must have stashed it here.
But were never able to reclaim it.
So, that means.
We solved the 700 year old mystery!
Woohoo!
I can't believe it.
The norowareta recipe.
Norowareta recipe.
Scoob. Finally, we get to eat it.
Norowareta recipe means cursed recipe.
Oh, yeah, we knew that.
Is it any good?
